New at the block - Mercedez Benz C230

Hi
I recently went through an article and found it quite interesting enough to share it with you. Here's the summation from it.


The all new Mercedez-Benz C230, with the new and improved features is a complete marvel when it comes to driving. Its a purely addictive ride, which makes you want to have some more once you're about to stop driving it. Its a complete "Driver's Delight". Its like 'Red Bull with Vodka'. It can be compared as a low budget Audi A8, its performance is so good that it can be compared with the A8's performance. Once you accelerate, you feel from deep within that the car you're hopped in has a three pointed star on the front. Its just worth it.
